japanese/alias-fonts should depend on gshar+gunshar For some reason and at some point the port uses gunshar. It died on me because I didn't have gunshar installed. Perhaps this isn't the best way to fix it, but I recommend adding gshar+gunshar to the list of depends (patch below). How-To-Repeat: Try to install japanese/alias-fonts from ports on a new 4.8 install.
State Changed From-To: open->closed It was the port ja-kanji18 which needed it, its Makefile has been updated. Thanks for your report!
